Trump 'complained to Belgian PM of difficulty setting up golf resorts in EU'
Source: The Guardian
Donald Trump offered an insight into his approach to political life during his 30 hours in Belgium while munching lots of Belgian chocolates, it has been reported.
Le Soir, a Belgian daily newspaper, reported that the US president acclaimed the chocolates, which were a gift from the Belgian government, during a meeting with the countrys prime minister, Charles Michel.

A second source told the newspaper: Every time we talk about a country, he remembered the things he had done. Scotland? He said he had opened a club. Ireland? He said it took him two and a half years to get a licence and that did not give him a very good image of the European Union. One feels that he wants a system where everything can be realised very quickly and without formalities.

The paper reports: Donald Trump had no idea of the economic weight of Belgium and even less of what the country represents for trade with the United States. Then he was introduced to the thing in a very visual way. But the president only gave vague attention to it.

Oh for the love of dog please make it stop. Chocolates, golf, shoving people, insulting the
Germans, and treating NATO countries like they owe back rent.

Donnie, don't miss a chance to indulge yourself! You know you deserve it. Besides, all that talk about excess sugar and fat being bad for your heart is just more fake science!

Republicans are selling out the USA in order to enrich themselves. That sucks deplorably.

We need a President who advocates for America, not for his own fat republican ass.

(23,158 posts)He probably thinks that the 2% mentioned should be paid to him since he was talking about how they are hurting the US by not spending the right amount of $. It's their defense, not ours, but he's just the most stupid person ever, and doesn't even care to learn. All he wants is more $$. He loves the Saudis because they gave Ivanka a $100,000 bribe. That's all he cares about, $ for him and her.
